Craig Wiggins is in Hawkes Bay today. He's commentating at a fencing competition at the Hawkes Bay show. Just to add to the ambiance he's standing smack-bang in the middle of the fencing contest and a shearing battle as well!
Wiggy chats to The Country Early Edition's Dom George about the Ashburton Work & Income shooting tragedy and the resulting bureaucracy surrounding the case. Wiggy doesn't find a lot of "common sense" in the proceedings.
There are changes afoot at Environment Canterbury and Wiggins is interested to see how they will affect farmers in the future. Could tighter environmental controls affect farmers' land value?
